ABSTRAK
Indonesia is an Archipelagic State which consists of small islands as well as large ones and sea area larger than the land area. As an Archipelagic State, Indonesia has a big potential in the field of maritime. It is situatedbetween two oceans: The Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, making Indonesia a very strategic state in international world especially in maritime law field.Maritime itself should be viewed as an object thatcovers many areas of lifewhich isinterrelated with other fields. Consequently, it is necessary to formulate public policies that are oriented to the interest of making Indonesia as a GlobalMaritime Axis. In order to pursue this interest, the Government has to focusin improving itslawsand its law enforcements. However, manyregulations under the constitution do not have the same perspective as theconstitution,which isthe highest source of law in Indonesia. The legislation of aspects of maritime management is stipulated at the highest source of law, that is the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. It must be followed by regulations below the constitution in order to support Indonesia as Global Maritime Axis.

While some still debate whether or not climate change is a reality, one of its impacts, sea level rise, is factual. The cause and the rate of sea level rise might have been inconclusive but its impacts have been clearly felt. Sea level rise can also change the legal status of insular features (small islands/rocks and low tide elevation) that will also affect their capacity in making maritime claim. For an archipelagic State like Indonesia, small outer islands/rocks or low-tide elevation are important for location of basepoints forming the entire system of archipelagic baselines. This paper investigates the impact of sea level rise to the change of baselines and maritime limits a coastal state may claim. On the other hand, there is a need to have fixed maritime limits for better management and to balance rights and duties of coastal to the ocean. This paper provides options on how Indonesia as a coastal and archipelagic State can fix their baselines and or maritime limits in the face of coastal instability due to sea level rise as a consequence of climate change.
